Line Shaft Experience with Partial Sectionalization of a Paper Machine

Abstract

This paper provides documentation of experiences of three PPIC members with various lineshaft driven pulp and/or paper machines. While these experiences can be explained, they may seem to defy nature. Slowdowns, erratic behavior and the like do happen. The paper provides three specific cases that are of interest and do show that while all may seem right with the world, strange things do happen
